Thank you for the interview, Alba! It will be interesting to see where Eliza's skating and consistency moved since her debut, so I'm thrilled to hear she's doing another Indian program. Hopefully she has a successful season and isn't hampered by any further injury! The last couple of years must have been difficult for her, because her body has gone through quite a change; and I don't mean it in a negative way.

It's not negative, don't worry. It's the truth and it happens with many girls.
I do think it's all in her head, as she said. The injuries have strengthen the fear, I suppose.

Her body has gone through a change, but I don't think it's a change she can't deal with. If she's healthy and sorts out her competitive nerve, she can rise again. It's not like her jumps have totally left her. I hope she can skate freer and better because the pressure is now off her, with so many people dismissing her already.

And while I'm the first to value consistency in a skater... no point in being too harsh on Liza. Yulia is the only one we can call consistent in this post-Yuna field.

I usually don't check these things before the season starts, but I had to check this one. I quite like it, actually. She seems to really feel this music, and some of the spin positions were quite interesting. It needs a bit more polish (especially some of the leg movements), but it's a workable Bolero. Now, please, Liza, no more black outfits...

According to the latest interview from Mishin Liza has back problems. If they find the way to deal with pain she might get back to the competitions on a high level. If not- she might need a serious medical help. He said her skating matured and she will be the one to watch in the upcoming season. But first they have to deal with back issue, arrange her trainings accordingly and only then compete. If she misses the Grand Prix assignments due to her health condition she might be replaced. So lets not worry in advance and lets wait for the news on her health first.

Oh, I like that program very much, and much better than Bolero! Really suited to her I think.

Oh no... Why can't anything go right for Liza? But health comes first. I hope they do a thorough check-up and find what's best for her. If she misses the Grand Prix, so be it. Maybe she could still be ready in time for nationals? (I hope she'll have a chance earlier in the season to re-establish herself and up her PCS, but it's not worth further injuries).

I don't like the SP: she's skating to Bolero but the movements and the transitions are almost identical to the ones that she used for Latino music, she doesn't seem to feel the music at all But I was pleasantly surprised by the FS: the Egyptian style suits her skating, I like the detailed use of the hands and the last part of the program, plus there where some very interesting entries to some of the jumps (the flip, the loop and the last axel)
